 Steps to Health is an incentive program offered by LIVE FOR
LIFE that focuses primarily on helping you achieve measurable
health results and rewards you for achieving your health goal.
Through the Steps to Health program, you will have the opportunity
to make realistic and measurable changes to your health by
creating a step-by-step plan for healthier living with guidance
from a LIVE FOR LIFE staff member.
You will earn LIVE FOR LIFE dollars through Steps to Health
by participating in quarterly measurements and achieving your
predetermined health goals. As you progress in the program,
the LIVE FOR LIFE dollars awarded to you will increase in
value. You have the potential to earn up to $1000 LIVE FOR
LIFE dollars which can be used to purchase merchandise from
the LIVE FOR LIFE store.
How do I get started with the Steps to Health program?
Step 1
To participate in Steps to Health, you will first need to
participate in a HealthCheck, a free and confidential health
assessment administered by a LIVE FOR LIFE nurse. HealthCheck
gives you the opportunity to have your cholesterol, blood
sugar, blood pressure, height, and weight measured and your
body mass index calculated. In addition, you will be asked
to complete a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) questionnaire about
current lifestyle and habits regarding physical activity,
nutrition, smoking and stress management. Upon completion
of the HealthCheck and HRA, you will receive your first incentive
reward of $200 LIVE FOR LIFE dollars.
You can register for a HealthCheck in one of the following
three convenient ways:
- Call: 684-3136, option 1
- E-mail: lflprogm@mc.duke.edu
- In person: Duke Clinic South, Employee Occupational
Health & Wellness, Room 04290
Step 2
After completion of the HealthCheck, you will meet with a
LIVE FOR LIFE staff member who will discuss the results of
your HealthCheck and HRA, assess your current health, and
identify any specific health issues you may face now or in
the future. You and your LIVE FOR LIFE coach will discuss
your personal health needs and set measurable goals to work
towards in areas such as weight management, blood pressure,
stress, cholesterol, smoking, physical inactivity or health maintenance.
Step 3
Throughout the next 12 months, you will receive communication
from your LIVE FOR LIFE coach via e-mail, phone and in person.
He/she will provide interactive sessions to assist with setting
realistic, measurable changes and achieving your health goals.
During this time, you can record your measurements on a Healthy
Tracker Card or enter data into eHealth,
a personal wellness web site, where you can track your measurements
and goals. As a participant in the Steps to Health program,
you will earn LIVE FOR LIFE dollars for participating in periodic
measurements and achieving your predetermined health goals
which can be used to purchase merchandise for the LIVE
FOR LIFE store.
Step 4
After 12 months in the program, you will complete a second
HealthCheck. If your predetermined goal is achieved, you will
receive the LIVE FOR LIFE dollars incentive reward and the
personal satisfaction of achieving your goal and becoming
a healthier you. You are encouraged to continue in the program,
choose another goal, maintain your health measurements and
earn additional LIVE FOR LIFE dollars assuming there is no waiting list for the program. If you have not reached
your goal, you can work with LIVE FOR LIFE to continue in
the program until your goal is achieved.
